"Outstanding introduction for middle-school, high school, even beginning college level students. Very clearly written, not a lot of unnecessary words - just the right level of explanation to get you thinking in the right direction and to see what the graphics are illustrating. My 13-year old loved it, and finally understands a bit more of what his Dad does all day. I've been doing this for 15 years -- and even I got a better grasp of some things."

Here's a better one, and it's available online, both the 1971 and 1979 editions!

Hehe I've but alot of books on programming so far and I can add this one to my collection....soon, though perhaps. It looks very interesting and what I might enjoy. So far I have purchased the following books:

Game Maker's apprentice
Basic Game design for fun and learning
Web design for teens
Game Programming for teens
Digital Music Making for teens

These are all related to computers in some way and I hope to make a career out of programming, game designing or animating (I'm using flash at the moment).
